Hi
You need to go for proper investigation and diagnosis to rule out the cause of pain, after that treatment plan can be decided. Pain can be due to some conditions like cavities, tooth abcess, gum disease, and fracture of tooth.
For pain you can take ketorol dt 2 tabs dissolved in half cup of water. Or ibuprofen after meal.

I advice you go for scaling (professional tooth cleaning) to remove the extrinsic stains and then polishing and then bleaching (tooth whitening) so as to remove the intrinsic stains and improves the tooth shade
